Rarely Seen Philippine Wild Cat

This Philippine wild cat was held captive in one of the local area in the country. After four months in captivity it died in a common cold. What is interesting in this wild cat is that it looks like a tiger cub having similarity to that color of a tiger. It looks like an ordinary cat but its color resembles to that of a tiger and grows as big as a local dog.

I have never seen this cat in the net nor in books thus I was enticed to take a picture of it inside its cage. When I first glanced at it inside the cage, I thought it was a tiger cub but told that it was a wild cat locally known as “maral.”
